Burgberg (Erlangen)
The Burgberg, also sometimes referred to as Strawberry Hill, is a 332-meter-high sandstone hill in Erlangen, Germany. It was quarried in the 15th century and its southern slope has been used to house beer cellars since 1675. The cellar storage made Erlangen a pioneer concerning beer exports. The " Erlangen Bergkirchweih" has taken place in and around the cellars every Whitsun since 1775. Geology Strawberry Hill is built up of several layers of the Upper Löwenstein Formation. This geological condition was of great practical importance for Erlangen. It can be assumed that since the high Middle Ages, when stones were used to build houses, quarries were created at Burgberg. The earliest evidence of this dates back to 1619. For the construction of the new town "Christian-Erlang" (from 1686) and the reconstruction of the old town after the big city fire (from 1706) mainly stones from the castle hill were used. The extraction of stone from the castle hill experienced a last upswing from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
